Smurfs: The Lost Village 720p - (2017 Lang: English)

Awesome film, true to Peyo's original comics.

The Smurfs The Lost Village is the latest offering from Sony Picture Animation, the team that brought you Goosebumps and Cloudy with a chance of meatballs. As a longtime smurf fan, it is without question that I would go to see this film. I was delighted with this latest film, its animation is beautiful, the look of the smurfs is faithfully recreated from the well loved cartoons of Peyo. The depiction of the smurf village is stunning and the detail of the characters is lovely, you can see every texture and this really adds to the movie. The new characters are a nice addition, finally Smurfette isn't the only girl in the village. The character voices are handled well and are in keeping with the feel of the film. I would recommend it wholeheartedly to everyone, children and adults alike. I hope to see more films and lots more merchandise. I would love to see more stories that include Johan & Peewit and Homnibus etc..well done Sony Pictures Animation on a glorious film.

I got to see the advance screening of the move with my kids. I enjoyed the fast pace of the movie and the exciting story line. Kids did not get bored throughout the movie. Unlike some movies that are geared towards boys or girls specifically, this movie entertains both boys and girls. There was no vulgarity in the movie and no unnecessary violence.

Sony outdid themselves with this movie. I have been waiting for a long time in anticipation of this movie and it definitely did not disappoint me. If you liked the first two then this is a must see movie, and is great for children and the kid at heart. I look forward to Sony making another Smurfs movie in the future but please don't take so long next time. Keep on Smurfing.

"Smurfs: The Lost Village" is a story that fits nicely between the classic Peyo comics and the Hanna-Barbera Saturday morning cartoon. The animation is beautifully done. There is no way you can take every little detail in with just one viewing. The plot is fairly straightforward with adventure at the forefront. This film avoids the misplaced pop culture references and overused Smurf puns that many disliked about the previous movies. "Smurfs: The Lost Village" aims for a younger audience, but adults shouldn't have a problem remembering why they liked these characters themselves.

Smurfs: The Lost Village is a 2017 American 3D computer-animated comedy-adventure film produced by Sony Pictures Animation and The Kerner Entertainment Company, with animation by Sony Pictures Imageworks, for Columbia Pictures.[1][6] Sony, LStar Capital and Wanda Pictures co-financed the film.[6][7][8] It is based on The Smurfs comic book series created by the Belgian comics artist Peyo, and is a reboot unrelated to Sony's previous live-action/animated films based on the series.

In the story, a mysterious map prompts Smurfette, Brainy, Clumsy, and Hefty to find a lost village before Gargamel does.[1]

The film was released on April 7, 2017 by Columbia Pictures to mixed reviews from critics, although many considered it an improvement over the previous Smurfs live-action/animated films. The film has grossed over $195 million worldwide.

In Smurf Village, the Smurfs live peacefully among themselves. Their leader is the wise, elderly, and a bit overprotective, Papa Smurf. Some of the Smurfs include the klutzy and slow-witted Clumsy Smurf, the intelligent and eccentric Brainy Smurf, the strong and gutsy Hefty Smurf and the beautiful Smurfette, who feels out of place in Smurf Village as the only girl. Smurfette was created by the wicked wizard Gargamel from a lump of clay, but was redeemed by Papa Smurf and became part of the village. Gargamel makes it his mission to capture the Smurfs, steal all of their essences, and become the most powerful wizard in the world.

After Smurfette accidentally breaks an invention by Brainy, made up by a fun day snowboarding with Brainy, Hefty, and Clumsy, Smurfette sees a blue creature hidden by a leaf and follows it straight into the Forbidden Forest, which Papa Smurf forbids the Smurfs from entering, believing the creature to be a Smurf. She loses sight of the creature but she discovers a hat that was dropped by the possible Smurf. Smurfette ends up being captured by Gargamel and at his castle, she ends up inadvertently revealing the hat, enabling Gargamel to mix up a brew that causes him to locate the village on a map. Soon enough Hefty, Brainy, and Clumsy, who followed Smurfette, help her escape and return to Smurf Village, where they end up being punished by Papa Smurf for disobeying his orders and he confines them to their houses while dismissing their claims of a lost village filled with Smurfs.

However, Smurfette, still wanting to find her place, sneaks out into the night, with Brainy, Clumsy, and Hefty volunteering to come with her, simply because they're Team Smurf. Smurfette agrees to let them join her and together they enter the Forbidden Forest. Gargamel soon discovers them trying to find the lost village and heads out with his cat Azrael and giant bird Monty to stop them.

The four best friends follow the map and end up in various adventures, such as being attacked by monster flowers and getting caught in a stampede of luminescent rabbits, one of whom they befriend and name Bucky, who helps them on their quest. After setting sail on their handmade raft along the river, they encounter Gargamel, Azrael, and Monty. Following a brief chase, Gargamel is thrown out of his own raft. Hefty and Smurfette convince the others to help save him. They do so, but instead of thanking them, he pushes them out of their raft, leaving them to plunge down a waterfall.

Meanwhile, back at Smurf Village, Papa Smurf tries to reconcile with Smurfette over his actions the previous night but soon discovers that she, Brainy, Hefty, and Clumsy are gone, so he sets out to find and set things right with them. Team Smurf survives the waterfall and washes ashore where they are soon captured by the leaf-covered creature from earlier, along with a few others who reveal themselves to be female Smurfs. They are taken to their village (which is called Smurfy Grove) in the trees where they meet the leader Smurf Willow, the tough tomboy Smurf Storm, the hyperactive Smurf Blossom, the gentle Smurf Lily and the music-loving Smurf Melody. They all welcome the Smurfs, especially Smurfette, to their humble home.

After a while of showing them what they do, Smurf Storm and Clumsy come back with Storm telling Willow that Smurfette was created by Gargamel and that he's on his way. The female Smurfs prepare an attack that night but instead of Gargamel, Papa Smurf appears, and the female Smurfs accept him into their home. As Papa Smurf and Smurf Willow argue and flirt with each other, Gargamel comes and destroys Smurfy Grove, and captures all the Smurfs, except Smurfette, who is now alone, feeling guilty for her actions. However, Brainy's pet Snappy bug shows her a picture of her and the others, and she soon realises that she is not a real Smurf, and heads back to Gargamel's lair with Snappy and Bucky to save the Smurfs.

At Gargamel's lair, Brainy makes a plan to escape. Papa Smurf hears their plan and he and Smurf Willow decide to help them. Hefty, Brainy, Clumsy, and some of the female Smurfs seem to succeed in their plan until Gargamel and Azrael spot them and put some of the female Smurfs and Clumsy into his Smurfilator, extracting their essence. Smurfette appears, tricking Gargamel into believing that she wants to be an evil smurf again. When Gargamel tries to turn Smurfette into an evil smurf, he realises that Smurfette is absorbing his magic powers instead, a skill she found earlier after destroying Brainy's invention. The lair explodes, sending Gargamel, Azrael, and Monty into a lake full of piranhas. Unfortunately, Smurfette has reverted to a lifeless lump of clay. Papa quickly tries to find a spell, but Brainy states there is nothing they can do to save her, leaving everyone, especially Papa, devastated.

Back at Smurf Village, all the Smurfs mourn the loss of Smurfette. Their energy and love for Smurfette revives her, and everybody happily celebrates. Smurf Village and Smurfy Grove rejoice in their new unity. In the end, Smurfette finally finds her purpose and becomes most of all, a true-blue Smurf.

This movie was a masterpiece in its own element! It was how I remembered my favorite cartoon as they ran through a forest, on an adventure, with that true Smurfs charm which really made me blush like crazy! Don't get me wrong, but the Smurfs and Smurfs 2 was pretty good and they were unique; but, this movie was the right way to do a Smurfs movie! This movie is such a treat! The family will love it! I am sure of it! And seeing it in 3D was even better! So I highly recommend seeing in 3D, it's worth the extra bucks!

Absolutely loved the movie :) They took the original cartoons and rebooted the whole thing in a very cool fashion. And Hefty has always been my favorite, so it was so damn cool to see the team back together again. The ending was very very emotional. Hope to see more Smurfs after this one. Way to go!
